Chapter 65

Looking at the tall girl on the stage, under the gaze of so many eyes, her brown eyes looked straight ahead, her gaze was so firm and warm.

Her speech was by no means straightforward; her confidence infected everyone in the audience, making them listen attentively and feel the power of language.

This Lin Mian was different from the Lin Mian in Li Wen's memory. He was like a pearl that had been polished thousands of times in the deep sea, and the light it emitted was clearer and smoother.

Just one year was enough to turn Lin Mian into a more dazzling existence, so dazzling that Li Wen didn't know whether she could still remember who she was when he appeared in front of her.

But this is enough, they are in the same university and will not have no intersection like last year.

Even if there is still no point where their fates intersect, he will create such an opportunity.

"I already told you I won't join the student union. Can you please stop bothering me?"

If the anger value could be seen, Lin Mian would want to show it directly to Li Wen.

This could be read from her expression, but this person seemed to be unable to read her expressions and just kept coming up to her and pestering her to join the student union.

"The Student Union is the best place for you. It's there, Xiao Mian, that you can unleash your strength and let everyone see you. Don't you want to be seen by everyone?"

What he said was so sincere and heartfelt. If the person was not Lin Mian, he might have been fooled by him and moved by his "good intentions".

"I don't need to be in the student union to be seen."

Just like at this moment, someone passed by and took a look, and found that the girl who was talking looked very familiar. After taking another look, he recognized it was Lin Mian. He waved and greeted her excitedly. After hearing her, Lin Mian also smiled and greeted her.

This year has been a year of rapid development. Computers have appeared in many families. Information is no longer so isolated, and looking up things is no longer as difficult as before. Especially in this nationally renowned university, students have such strong learning and exploration abilities, and everyone is very receptive to new things, especially the Internet.

Beicheng University also has a forum that has considerable influence on the Internet. College students are at an energetic age, and many posts appear every day.

There are also posts discussing Lin Mian.

Many students living in North City know this name.

People who care about grades will always look at who gets first place, how many points they got, and how big the gap is between them and the others.

As long as Lin Mian took the exam, the first place would always belong to her. Like a huge mountain pressing down on her, the rest of the people wouldn't care who came in second, they would only watch to see if she achieved a new high.

It’s not that no one has tried to cross this mountain, but no one has been able to do it.

They knew Lin Mian long before she became famous. Of course, it's not ruled out that other local students don't know her, but she is really doing well. In the local newspapers in North City, her appearance frequency has increased year by year, and each appearance has brought a different, highly valuable award.

Therefore, in the post, many local students will enthusiastically introduce this freshman representative to students from other places.

In the era of the Great Demon King, I can't just be their shadow, but I must be the mountain that hangs over everyone's head. That mountain that is invisible, but because of her existence, it makes them feel suffocated.

She is the brave warrior who defeated the dragon, the vast and boundless ocean with turbulent waves, waiting for small streams to flow into it, and the trail that everyone can never catch up with but will subconsciously follow.

Geniuses are called geniuses because they are rare. In this university that gathers talents selected from all over the country, you can see a "genius" in the eyes of the public every three steps, and a "genius among geniuses" every five steps.

Diligence and talent mean nothing here. Only talent plus diligence can allow people to barely squeeze out of the crowded crowd.

And this group of people are also the ones who admire the strong the most. As long as you are strong enough, there will always be people looking at you.

How could such a Lin Mian lack attention from others? It would be better if she didn't get so much attention, as her every move was watched by countless eyes.

But so what, Lin Mian thought. She was born to be watched by countless eyes, and she would no longer be afraid of all kinds of eyes like before.

Just watch her and see how she reaches the highest peak step by step.

She would brandish her sword, waiting for any challenger who dared to come forward.

"I was wrong. The Student Union needs you, so come to the Student Union, Lin Mian."

Lin Mian met Li Wen's expectant gaze, which was a very familiar look.

This was the look He Xintong often showed when he placed all the desserts he made in front of her, hoping to get her appreciation.

Why did you think of him?

Lin Mian was distracted for a moment, but Li Wen was not He Xintong. Lin Mian refused very decisively. She just didn't want to do what she didn't want to do.

Seeing her deliberately keeping a distance from him, Li Wen felt uncomfortable with her defensive behavior.

Looking at the other person's receding back, Li Wen thought, since she couldn't walk towards him, then he would walk towards her.

She is kind enough and would find excuses to fool him and leave. In fact, what would happen if she just left directly?

It's just that she is busy enough, so it's normal for her to look down on the little fights between these students.

Thinking of this, Li Wen didn't think it was a big deal. He thought her reason for joining the student union was not so bright. It was just that he had a despicable idea and wanted her to be closer to him and to get closer to him at work.

It’s better this way, no one has a chance.

But when he learned that Lin Mian appeared in the skateboard club, that inexplicable depression was like a ball of wet cotton stuffed in his chest, making it hard for him to breathe.

After receiving reliable information, Li Wen put on a hat and a mask and secretly ran to the place where the skateboarding club was having an activity.

Seeing Lin Mian chatting and laughing with others, Li Wen pinched his palm unconsciously with his fingertips, and his teeth rubbed the soft flesh inside his mouth, producing a rusty taste without him noticing.

There weren't many people in the square, but many people's attention was focused on that corner.

It was a fairly open area where the skateboarding club felt that no matter how they carried out their activities, it would not affect others.

Lin Mian swooped down from the railing on a skateboard. The wind blew up her T-shirt, but it seemed more like a crowning for her.

When the skateboard hit the ground with a crisp sound, the sunlight also favored her, and even the ends of her hair were shining, making it impossible to look directly at her.

The cheers continued, and Li Wen could clearly identify the emotion in those people's eyes - anticipation.

Chen Ke led the applause. She originally thought that Lin Mian would just play a little, but she didn't expect it to be to this extent.

"How long have you been practicing? When the club shows up later, it's sure to attract more attention to the skateboarding club. Hahaha, I can imagine how many applications we'll receive then."

Lin Mian hooked his arm around Chen Ke's neck and said with a smile, "Yes, President, there will definitely be a lot of people chasing after you and shouting at you."

Chen Ke blushed. She had never been so close to anyone before. At most, they had just bumped fists and high-fived.

Isn't this distance too close? But she doesn't mind it.

Amidst the laughter, Li Wen felt more and more sick. If only he could skateboard too, he could stand next to her with a clear conscience. Maybe she would put her arms around his neck and celebrate with him with a smile, just like she was doing now.

Yes, Lin Mian doesn’t go to the student union, but he can go to the skateboard club. Anyway, it’s just to be closer to her, so any way is acceptable.

When Lin Mian once again leaped into the air amid the noise, as free as an unrestrained bird, even people who had no interest in skateboarding would stop to watch.

She just has that kind of charm, Li Wen became more certain of his thoughts.

After politely declining the club dinner, Lin Mian picked up his sports bag and glanced at the watch on his wrist. It was almost the appointed time.

Without thinking too much, Lin Mian picked up the skateboard and started running. When she reached a more open place, she put down the skateboard and stepped on it. This time, she was no longer pursuing technology, but speed.

Really, how come I forget the time once I start playing.

She has to keep speeding up.

Looking at the auditorium in front of him, Lin Mian wiped the sweat from his forehead without much concern. He finally caught up.

When Lin Mian walked to the backstage, she found that it was too busy and no one checked on her and let her in.

As she lowered her head to flip through the text messages, someone gently patted her shoulder.

"Go change your clothes quickly, you're sweating all over."

As she spoke, Zhong Yuqi took a tissue and began to wipe Lin Mian's wound carefully.

Now Lin Mian is as tall as her. Zhong Yuqi often forgets her age, but always takes care of her subconsciously.

Watching the other person go in to change clothes, Zhong Yuqi breathed a sigh of relief.

Not being in the same university as Lin Mian means she has matured and will not change her aspirations because of anyone.

Besides, this is what Lin Mian wants to see the most, isn't it? Besides, aren't they very close now? So close that she has no regrets.

When Lin Mian came out, Zhong Yuqi stepped forward and grabbed his arm.

"I'll leave it to you today."

Just then, a gust of wind blew.

"Looks like I'm the last one to arrive?"

Eighteen-year-old Wu Bingxia is still as beautiful as ever, but her beauty is a little sharper than before.

She casually grabbed a few of her short hair, making it fluffy and unrestrained. She wore a pink sweatshirt with a gray suit, and her slender body looked like a standing pine tree.

"That's right, aren't you hot wearing so many clothes?"

Jin Zixuan came over from the other side with a guitar and patted Wu Bingxia on the shoulder.

"Hey, you won't get discouraged playing the drums on the stage now, right? Otherwise, we should call He Xintong over, just in case..."

"Zixuan is still so cautious. Don't worry, I've been practicing hard back home just for an occasion like today. And today is an occasion for us girls, the girls' New Storm."

Yes, this is a reunion that we finally get to meet after being apart for so many years. It is a moment that belongs to the girls.

At this time, the program announcer was calling out a familiar name.

"Let's go then, New Storm."

Lin Mian stretched out his hands, overlapped them for a moment, and threw them upwards with force, with the momentum to shock the whole audience once again.

"Click"

The lights on the stage dimmed for a moment, and then split into four beams of light that shone onto the stage.

Guitarist and lead singer Wu Bingxia from China University of Political Science and Law, guitarist Jin Zixuan and keyboardist Zhong Yuqi from Renda University, and bassist Lin Mian from North City University.

Scattered like stars in the sky, they finally continued their dreams once again.

Maybe some people in the audience have seen their performance, so this time, they have to be more moving and more powerful.

“My dear friend

Tonight you will not walk alone

Riding the night

We will walk away”

The once ethereal feeling has become more mature, and the call for friends has become more real.

Wu Bingxia touched the hairpin on her head at the moment when the rhythm paused. It was the hairpin with two fists touching that Lin Mian gave her.

And now, she is really back, and I can bump fists with her face to face again, saying "long time no see" and "I have done what I promised you."

When Lin Mian's hand touched the bass, his body knew what to do before his brain.

“Even without the guidance of the Big Dipper

Even if we can't read the rings on the tree stump

Even if there is no snow tonight

Still walk away”

None of them got lost, even though the road to growth was always full of obstacles and troubles.

"Your courage plus my determination

Never give up is the creed of the New Storm

Walk away tonight

Never look back again"

Zhong Yuqi and Lin Mian looked at each other, smiles streaming down their faces.

She will not allow those so-called rules to bind her. She wants to be above the rules, and never looking back is her answer.

“While we are still young

While we still have strength

Starting now

Walk away tonight”

Jin Zixuan was not as nervous as before. She was going to be a judge in the future. How could she be cowardly before going to her battlefield?

They are all still young, they all have great potential, and they can all leave tonight and head into the unknown but vast wilderness.
